The 23-year-old winger, who joined Orlando Pirates this winter, was seen confidently wearing the No. 11 during training, suggesting he could be in line to inherit one of the club’s most symbolic shirt numbers.
The No. 11 jersey was last worn by Gilberto, whose departure from the club is expected to be announced sooner rather than later. The Angolan showed flashes of brilliance but never got out of second gear.
Moremi’s assumption of the Orlando Pirates jersey signals the club’s intent to invest in youth and pace down the flanks — and to possibly hand him a key attacking role under newly appointed head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou.
TSHEPANG MOREMI TO WEAR NUMBER 11
Mbule’s surprise Orlando Pirates jersey number spotted?
At Orlando Pirates, the No. 11 shirt carries historical weight, previously worn by iconic players who defined eras with flair and goal contributions from the wing. For Moremi, wearing that number at just 24 years old is both a massive opportunity and a message: the club sees him as more than just a squad player.

Whether he becomes a breakout star or takes a season to adapt, one thing is now official: the No. 11 shirt has a new owner — and his name is Tsepang Moremi.
